iProphet, an excuse was offered and I didn't think highly of it - clans can say members only EEs, EBs or SDTs (for all I care). Assuming the posted PMs are accurate, all that took place is WarLor saying we're EE members only.
Having tried to justify what took place, I responded to the argument. Your argument that no one needs an excuse to war is a different one (and one I agree with). In that instance, just say so: we're bored and looking for an OSW. Fine. We saw all the hoarding of allies and decided to redistribute the wealth. Fine. We ..... Fine.
